Class Experience

This is one of the easy and fun adventures from the Hero Kids RPG series. We are going on a space adventure this time! 

Background:
Our heroes live in Kali Outpost on the tiny planet Circa Prime, the main planet in the Volta system. The Volta system lies in the borderworlds, a loose federation of free systems sandwiched between the tyrannical Droid Authority and the lawless space of the Dark Nebula, home of the fearsome raiders.

Adventure Overview:
In Tyranny's Shadow our heroes will investigate a mysterious cargo ship that has landed in a space port of the Kali Outpost. What is their business in the outpost? Could it be some of the raiders from the Dark Nebula, or possibly the Droid Authority? Our will be going on a recon mission to scout out the ship and find out their true purpose. We will need some of our best investigators and hackers to navigate this cargo jungle!

The Hero Kids Space Adventures use the same ruleset and Hero mechanics as the fantasy adventures with the addition of some new space skills. Students need to have played any Hero Kids adventure before or have taken one of the great Hero Kids basics classes here on Outschool.

Learning Goals

This adventure will be a great opportunity for students to participate in some cooperative gameplay and social interaction. For this adventure, we will do some basic addition with dice, strategic investigating, and tactical cooperation.
